Theoretically, you could send the module to the developers
for review, but there are a few more steps that you would need to do
(documentation, example file, etc).
Collaborative developers or developers with access to source are the
third party ways we have done new developments. Licensing details
can be found here:
http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/energyplus_licensing.cfm
A collaborative developer has access to source code, the developer's
yahoo group, and other resources. We also would discuss new
features at our twice monthly conference calls (including the developer)
and suggest changes, etc.
Let me know if you wish to pursue this further (private email
preferred).
The only ways to implement something without access to source code is
either to make an EMS program internal to EnergyPlus simulation or
perhaps a module in BCVTB or MatLab using those facilities to link in
with the simulation.

Dear all,
I am developing a new module. It is a radiant system.
If i have desinged and i have inserted the new entry into the Input Data Dictionary and i have constructed the module in Fortran90/95 programming...
How can i add this new module to energy plus?
I have been reading the developer's guide, in page 43 'Inserting the new module into the program', but i dont understand what i should do exactly. Can you help me?
Others questions:
Is it possible 'to link' my new module to energy plus wihtout the sorce code?
Does exist any programm which do that?
